Okay, guys, time to give Torii a real birthday present.

[drock2190]

How about a double Escobar

How shall we wrap it?

[drock2190]

 

So....Arcia coming in to PH for Escobar, right?

 

Arcia isn't very good against lefties though

[AlwaysinModeration]

Kazmir getting tired yet?

[DiscGolfer]

where's the poor Oakland defense when you need it

 

ohh, there it is

[glunn]

We have our runner.  Now let's tie this game.

And ... there was was.

[DiscGolfer]

Birthday HR maybe?

[ScrapTheNickname]

Get to Sano, the human.

ohh, there it is

Their short stop actually leads the league in errors.

[glunn]

Torii can makes his own birthday present now.

[drock2190]

NO DP!!

[Patrick Midthun]

Interesting...

[ScrapTheNickname]

I hope Joe strikes out rather than rolls over on a ball to second base. Or walks. Or gets a single. Or a double, etc.

[Patrick Midthun]

I hope he rips a gapper.

[ScrapTheNickname]

Gapper is good

[glunn]

Yes!

[DiscGolfer]

that works

 

[mickeymental]

earn that paycheck, joe!

[Patrick Midthun]

Yeah Mauer! Atta boy!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

O Mauer, where art thou?

 

Second base.

 

 

[Patrick Midthun]

Mauer, baby!

[ScrapTheNickname]

Sano, The Human!

[AlwaysinModeration]

I am guessing Sano is happy Kazmir is out. Now, how about a fly ball...that caroms off a fence?

[JB_Iowa]

C'mon Sano a crew more wouldn't hurt.

[DiscGolfer]

if he can just make contact it should be a sac fly

 

and there it is

[Squirrel]

I got home just in time! Things are exciting!

[twinsnorth49]

What an AB by Mauer, got everything but the kitchen sink and rips a double in a 9 pitch at bat.

 

Beauty!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Sano sac fly for the lead!

 

Lookin' like Perkins' time...

 

Wouldn't mind seein' Plouffe knock Mauer in, since he can't ground into a double play...
